标题: OG143请教
143. Recently discovered fossil remains strongly suggest that the Australian egg-laying mammals of today are a branch of the main stem of mammalian evolution rather than developing independently from a common ancestor of mammals more than 220 million years ago.
(A)    rather than developing independently from
(B)    rather than a type that developed independently from
(C)    rather than a type whose development was independent of
(D)    instead of developing independently from
(E)    instead of a development that was independent of

In C, the expression a type whose development was independent of a common ancestor states the opposite of the original point_that the type of mammal mentioned was thought to have developed independently of the main stem of mammalian evolution, but still to have descended from a common ancestor.

答案中关于C的解释是什么意思，请nn帮忙解释一下，多谢了！~~

顶一下，我也不太明白。

a type that developed independently from a common ancestor of mammals
从一个共同的哺乳动物独立发展而形成的一类

a type whose development was independent of a common ancestor of mammals
不依赖于一个共同的哺乳动物发展而形成的一类.
So OG explains that choice C violates the original meaning.

I encountered the same problem, and I've understood the explain above but still can't comprehend the explain of 0G.

偶觉得解释中的that从句修饰the original point。不过不管怎样理解，A和B的意思是一样的。C的意思有所不同。developed independently from的中心词组是developed from， development was independent of的中心词组是independent of。

标题: 你好像翻译倒了，
B中的a type developed independently from a common ancestor of mammals意思是这个type的演化与a common ancestor of mammals完全没有关系，完全是两回事。
C中的a type whose development was independent of a common ancestor 的意思正好相反。C是说这个type的演化独立于the main stem of mammalian evolution（developed independently of the main stem of mammalian evolution，注意这里ETS用的是developed independently of），但未必就与a common ancestor完全没有关系，相反，这个句子的隐含之意是它（TYPE）是从这个共同的祖先演化而来（descended from a common ancestor）。总之，independent of表达的意思是A与B兄弟俩本是同根生，而后，就各奔东西，各自发展去了。

OG说E While a development may appear to parallel a branch,the logic of the sentence is contradicted by the meaning of this usage,

是什么意思啊,这种用法造成的矛盾之处在哪里呀???

谢谢指教

这道题的主考点在parallelism，看出来了就能选出答案。但是independent from和of 让人非常郁闷。我是这样理解的：朗文当代上和M-W上都没有把independent from作为固定搭配列出来，我们也就不要把它当成固定搭配看。如果分开看很容易理解developed independently from "Y" 就是从“Y”独立发展出来的意思。而developed independently of"Y"是从独立于“Y”的起源发展而来的意思。OG10的解释相对详细些。In C, the expression a type whose development was independent of a common ancestor states the opposite of the original point_that the type of mammal mentioned was thought to have developed independently of the main stem of mammalian evolution, but still to have descended from a common ancestor.
